Habarana is a small city in the Anuradhapura District situated nearby to the ancient rock fortress and castle/palace ruin of Sigiriya .Habarana is the centre of Sri Lanka's cultural triangle that is made up of Anuradhapura, Polonnaruwa and Kandy.

Habarana is a popular tourist destination for safari lovers as it is the starting point for safaris in the nearby Habarana jungle and the Minneriya sanctuary which is heavily populated by elephants.

The area has some of the best hotels in the country and the greenery and wild life has added value, making the location attractive for tourists.
